- Latest Review: "A Bullet for Love" by Mohammad Bakhtiar
Doughty dicusses her time as a crematory operator in a witty, dark, and comical way and addresses The USA's issues with death.
It genuinely changed my life.

As a travel lover I am fascinated by books that delve into a specific place such as Thor Heyerdahl's Easter Island or Parting the Desert: The Creation of the Suez Canal by Zachary Karabell.

Laura Hillenbrand is an outstanding writer who unfortunately suffers from the disease Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but this did not stop her from making her mark in literary circles.JRThompson95 wrote:Unbroken by Hillenbrand is phenomenal.
If you haven't already read it I would suggest reading her first book, Seabiscuit. This novel was later made into a movie which was nominated for seven Academy Awards.
Watch this amazing documentary featuring Hillenbrand and the story of Seabiscuit. It's not that long but powerfully, powerfully moving. If this were fiction no one would accept it, they'd say it was "too corny" .... but it was real.

Thank you Laura Hillenbrand.

I like to experiment with many genres so I decided to read I know Why the Caged Birds Sing. This was my first autobiography, mainly because I focus more on fiction books. I have to say, I love this book because of how Angelou writes it. It does not read like a autobiography, but rather like a fiction novel. I felt that it was a little slow paced, but it made it more personal and heartwarming. She made the little things in life beautiful. It was amazing how the reader can watch her develop as a person from all her struggles, and I must say, there were plenty. At times, I would tear up and at other times I would burst out laughing. I read this book twice and do not want to reveal and parts because the book is like an incredible journey and revealing a single part would ruin the effect.

Along the same lines, I also enjoyed Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg and appreciated her opening up a conversation about women's needs and roles in the workplace and in other areas of life.
